High tech feet

Feet are awesome. They take the full burden of our weight and if there are any imperfections it can affect our whole structure. Years ago I realised this and when running I wear orthotics to balance out the imperfections. As I've had a foot and ankle injury recently I revisited my Poditrist to check my orthotics. I ran with "electronic pads" in my shoes which gave a pressure map showing 60 pressure points on each foot. When running with the orthotics the map was well balanced which is good news. However without the orthotics I was like a runner with one leg! Now the poditrist is sourcing a new covering for the orthotics to reduce friction and keep the heat down. He is using me as a case study so it should be interesting over the next few months. However training in freezing conditions isn't very helpful for preparing for the heat of the desert. But there isn't much choice at the moment so I'll just have to layer up and get out there with my high tech feet!
